BT Infinity getting slower and slower each week
I live 2 mins from my caerphilly exchange. On installation I got 28 meg download. A week later it went to 26, then it went 24, now its only 22. Online gaming is a nightmare with bad pings and connections.
Yes the speeds were checked different days at the same times. I have spoke to a bt tech who accessed my pc today and confirmed my speeds were low. I have been told and engineer will contact me in the next 48 hours to see where the problem is at.
My speeds has now dropped to 19 meg download.
Since joining BT Infinity late November, I have been unable to get on the internet 3 times late at night, speeds dropping under 5 meg download and now lowering each week and not bouncing back to the 29 meg download I got on first installation. I hope things improve as I am paying a lot more than my previous provider.

Has any experienced this? All of a sudden, each time I turn on the laptop, the font is smaller. Getting to a point that I can hardly read it?
How do I fix it so that it is customized? ThanksTopher,
Thanks.
This is in Finder. It is behaving like the smallest font is the default option!

My iMac is getting slower and slower
My Mac (3.2GHz Intel Core i3 4GB Memory) is about 4 years old and has been getting slower and slower over the last 5 or 6 months. An earlier post recommended using 'Etracheck' which I have done and attached the information below. I think I may have a Ram issue but I would be grateful for any comments.
Thanks

Getting slower and slower at night
Ok i've had infinity since day 1,M28 manchester area,was getting around 72mb down and 17up,after about 6 mths it dropped to about 65mb down and up stayed the same.eventually it settled at around 62mb down and about 15-16mb upload,that's fine i can live with that,however for the last couple of weeks my download speed is all over the place,1 sec it's 60mb down then it's 30mb down,uploads erratic as well dropping to 11mb,that i can not live with,i get the impression the cab i'm on is overloaded as more and more users are signing up to infinity,anyone else notice slowdowns in the M28 area of manchester?
Hi Adrian100,
Thanks for the post. I am sorry to hear your broadband speed is getting slower.
Do you only notice the drops in speed at peak times? Are you using an Ethernet connection as apposed to wireless? Can you run a speed test from BT Speed Tester and post the results here? Do you have any other issue with your connection in terms of stability? Does you connection drop out?
Please let me know the answers to these questions and I am sure one of our community member will be able offer some advise, if not then the mods are about for support.
Cheers
Sean

Time indicator (clock) runs slow and getting slower
I have had problems with the clock for quite some time. First, when I travel, if the computer is shut down and only on battery for quite along time, when I restart the computer, the clock needs to be reset before the system will boot.
This past week the clock has started to run slow. And it's getting slower.
Any ideas what's wrong?
T43p that ran out of warranty two months ago.
Thanks,

My Mac Pro is getting slower and slower
I have an Mac Pro early 2009 version which is getting slower and slower. Startup time is about 3 minutes. How can I fix this?
Thank you.If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged after the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutesafter the boot time, not before. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of diagnostic report, such as hang logs — they're very long and not helpful. -
IMac getting slower and slower....
I've had my iMac for just under a year and recently it has seemed to be getting slower and slower and more buggy. Today GoLive CS2 refused to launch. No error code, just bounced in the dock and then stopped. My Finder keeps "not responding" when I am opening a folder on my harddrive. I've had problems with external firewire drives, it's just getting frustrating, and it's been getting worse over the last week or so... Also I've been having font problems too... I haven't installed a massive amount of fonts, but all of a sudden it's telling me it can't find "Arial TT" when I open InDesign I've repaired permissions, zapped PRAM, and I'm performing the hardware test as I type this (on my PowerBook). I've used Macs for many many years and consider myself a pretty advanced user so I'm not thinking this is user error. Has anyone else had similar problems?? I don't use a bunch of third party junk software on here, it's basically apple apps, and the Adobe CS2 Suite. I maxed the RAM with Crucial RAM when I first got it, so all that should still be good. Help? Suggestions? I know I could always wipe it and start again, but unfortunately at this moment I don't have enough external HD to back everything up to do this...
iMac G5 2Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6)947/3393
Hi rorydale,
Speaking of "not enough external HD to back everything up":
You know that Mac OS X needs a lot of free space on the boot drive, like at least 10%-15% free space?
Along with RAM, that's the only thing Mac OS X cannot do well without.
Then,
before starting a good read of this article and its excellent links:
- http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25392
I would make sure some regular maintenance is performed, just to take a safe start.
1) Nightly "periodic" maintenance tasks:
Open Terminal and paste this command:
sudo sh /etc/daily
hit enter, password, enter, wait until you see the prompt again.
OK now this one:
sudo sh /etc/weekly
(this one takes a long time, especially if you never ran it. You can use your computer while it is running, but do not quit Terminal)
Then, this one:
sudo sh /etc/monthly
Again, wait for the prompt to reappear.
2) Run Preferential Treatment, delete the corrupted .plist files if it finds some.
3) Run a Disk Repair with Disk Utility from the Tiger install DVD (menu Utilities).
4) Permissions Repair of course (from the boot volume, not the install disc)
5) Fonts can get problematic. I would trash Fonts caches too. Read about Fonts also in the Troubleshooting KB articles...
6) Users caches can be cleaned just to make sure. You'll see later if you still need to tinker the system and kernel caches.
That's for a start, let us know how it goes...

IMac getting slower -and Im getting more frustrated!
Like others it would appear.... I am finding my iMac is getting slower and slower with each day that passes since upgrading to Mavericks. It is slow to open and close apps. Slow to open mail. Often hangs with the little ball spinning forever and I have to hold the start button to shut down. I've even noticed that simple scrolling jumps all over the place as it is slow to respond. iMessage is often up to 4 minutes behind! I noticed that others have used EtreCheck which has been helpful to those 'in the know'. Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated, as I have no diea what's what! Thank you.

Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock all your user files, reset their ownership, and remove their access-control lists. If you've set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Back up all data.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
B.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
From the application's menu bar, select

You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
Boot in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.

"BlackBerry Desktop Manager" is incompatible with Mavericks and should be removed.
Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
Back up all data before making any changes.
You will generally have to reboot in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, the uninstallation may have no effect, or unpredictable effects.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
WARNING: Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software. -

I have reported the fault a number of times, but have been told 'we cannot find a fault', and line tests report there is no problem.
The quiet line test sounded ok, everything is plugged into the master socket with a filter.
This is the same as a problem i had before, which was fixed after posting on this forum.
Hopefully someone who can help will see this and be able to get it fixed.
ThanksHi Welcome to the forums
Here is a basic guide to getting help from the community members done by CL Keith Please read through the link posted http://forumhelp.dyndns.info/speed/first_steps.html
Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal

Prepared Statemet executeQuery() getting slower and slower
Hi,
I have a servlet that do the following:
1.- Construct the where clause for a query with the data the user has sent.
2.- Get a connection from the pool.
3.- Load a temporary table with a select that uses the where clause created on the first step.
4.- Create a prepared statement as simple as "select * from temp_table where rownum < 500"
5.- While there is still data on the temporary table, loop
5.1.- Extract the information of the result set the Prepared Statemet executeQuery() returns.
5.2.- Delete the rows of the temporary table that had been read on the 5.1 step
5.3.- Check if there is more data
6.- Close the result set, statements, ...
The first runs of the loop are very fast, on the order of 500 ms. When the servlet has executed some times the loop, each run of the loop starts getting slower and slower, growing the time of the loop with each run.
Do anyone knows why the loop takes longer and longer with each run?

iMac 10.1, OS X 10.7.5
4 GB RAM (2 of 4 slots used)
201 GB free on 999.35 GB HD
The iMac gets slower the longer I use the Internet - to the point that it takes several seconds for each typed character to appear. This is very noticeable with the online browser game Forge of Empires. But, it happens even if not logged on to that game.
Turning the iMac off and restarting it brings it back to what seems like full speed for an hour or so. Then, it starts to noticeably slow down again.1st thing : from my point of view upgrade your mac os to latest version.
(their is mac os x mavericks from apple its free for upgrade so download it and install it.)
(https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/os-x-mavericks/id675248567?mt=12)
2nd thing : then upgrade your all browser plugins to latest version.
3rd thing : and use ccleaner to keep clean your mac from junk data or other unuseable data that are created.
(http://www.piriform.com/mac/ccleaner)
4th thing : verify and repair your disk permissions with the use of disk utility or ccleaner
i am sure your computer recover speed. -
WiFi Connection Gets Slower and Slower
I have a TG862G/CT Arris (Comcast) router. The WiFi connection worked great for more than 6 months. I use Chrome browser with Windows 7.
Recently (last 3+ weeks) something changed. (I haven't move or blocked the router; still connecting with exact same computers.) When I first connect I have very fast connection (response), but after 5 to 10 minutes the response gets slower and slower and finally pages don't load. I get "waiting" messages in the lower left hand side of the screen. The browser tab finally shows the name of the web site, but the screen remains blank.
I would appreciate any help with how to trouble shoot this problem so it can be resolved.
Thanks and best regards.Hi Cam
Are you using a 3rd party router or an Apple Airport Unit? If the latter, make sure you are using the latest Airport Firmware. If not sure, open Airport Utility in your Applications>Utilities folder. Latest version is 7.4.2. If not, update the firmware via the Base Station Menu (you need to first click on your Airport Unit in the Utilities panel). Otherwise, a soft (unplug/wait/plugin) or hard reset of your Airport Unit might help.
If a 3rd party router, make sure the firmware is up-to-date. If it is, then a reset of the unit may help.
Also, the Airport card in the machine, or the router unit may be failing. Former case, run the Apple Hardware Test - note this Apple document is for mid 2007 machines and later.
As an aside, when creating a thread with a question, best to leave the "question box" in your original post panel checked. Otherwise, it may not be apparent you need assistance.

What can I do my ipad is getting hot and charging slow
My Ipad is getting hot and charging is very slow. I plugged it in this morning and after 7 hours is only at 78%. It was also losing its charge fast in the last week.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Image Reading getting slower and slower
Hi,
I'm working on a tool that reads each pixel of an image, get the color, and finally make some statistics.
I multithread this tool, allowing it to read several images.
Here is the call() method (my class implements Callable<>)
public StatResult call() throws IOException {
long begin = System.currentTimeMillis();
List<SharpColor> tColors = new LinkedList<SharpColor>();
BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(file);
Raster raster = img.getData();
Long totalNumber = 0L;
for (int x = 0; x < raster.getWidth(); x++) {
for (int y = 0; y < raster.getHeight(); y++) {
totalNumber++;
SharpColor col = new SharpColor(img.getRGB(x, y));
if (tColors.contains(col)) {
tColors.get(tColors.indexOf(col)).incrementNumber();
} else {
tColors.add(col);
System.out.printf("End of stat on the file %s in %d ms (Thread: %s)\n", image.getPdfFile().getAbsolutePath(), (System.currentTimeMillis() - begin), Thread.currentThread().getName());
return new StatResult(file, tColors, totalNumber);
} I create a fixed thread pool with 6 threads. When I look a the log, I see that some threads stops working or get slower and slower, whereas there is a lot of files to treat.
Is there something I'm missing? where is my mistake?
Thanks for your help, and please, excuse my english.Eric wrote:
I wish I could use an array indexed by the RGB colors, but, sometime, the RGB color is "-1". I think this happen because of the lack of unsigned value in java but I don't how I can get rid of it.
Have you an idea?The one that immediately suggests itself to me is to offset everything by one; but an alternative (and probably better) might be to check the value beforehand. This should help you to find out why and when, and what you could do to fix it.
It also suggests to me that your design is heavily implementation-dependant.

Safari starts getting slower and slower loading pages
Hi, i have always been a pc person, but recently made the switch to mac. i love it, but have an issue with safari. My internet speed is 17mbps so thats ok. Now after a few weeks of browsing the safari gets slow at loading pages, i have deleted history and emptied the cache. I had spoken with support during the 90 days free support. Now that has expired. They told me to get to the "verify permissions" then do "repair permissions" as there are a lot of error messages that are brought up. Once i have done this the internet is fine again - but obviously somethig is a miss as it starts slowing down over the weeks. Would upgrading to the latest version of snow leopard sort this? any ideas of other reasons. any help much appreciated
(First, if yours is an Intel Mac, check that Safari is not running in Rosetta, which is enough to slow it to a crawl. If you are running Snow Leopard, run Safari in 32 bit not 64 bit.)
Do you have enough RAM? Less than 1GB can cause slowness. Is your hard drive too full? Less than 15%, or 15GB, of free space can also cause slowness.
Adding DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.
(An explanation of why using Open DNS is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
Open DNS also provides an anti-phishing feature: http://www.opendns.com/solutions/homenetwork/anti-phishing/ )
Wikipedia also has an interesting article about Open DNS:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDNS
Whilst in System Preferences/Network you should also turn off 'IPv6' in your preference pane, as otherwise you may not get the full speed benefit (the DNS resolver will default to making SRV queries). If you want to know what IPv6 is:
This is Apple's guidance on iPv6:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8708.html
Click on Apply Now and close the window.
Restart Safari, and repair permissions.
If that didn't do it, then try this as well:
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Repair permissions (in Disk Utility).
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
